Getting together, sitting down, breaking bread &#8212; dining is a central human exercise. Add comfort, style, and thoughtful design to your socializing with these six ideas.</p>
<p><span id="more-21764"></span></p>
<p><strong>1. Steelwood Chair and Table -</strong> Designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, the Steelwood set unifies the durability of steel with the natural warmth and texture of beech wood. Sturdy, stylish, and in for the long haul, Steelwood will dine with you for many years to come. Find both at <a title="Herman Miller" href="http://bit.ly/ZjrhfN" target="_blank">Herman Miller</a>.</p>
<p>*For the breakfast bar, check out the <a title="Steelwood Stool" href="http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Steelwood-Stool" target="_blank">Steelwood Stool</a>.</p>
<p><strong>2. Bread Bag, Klaus Rath for Stelton -</strong> Fresh baked bread of all kinds find the perfect home in this innovative design. Reshape the bag into to different sizes, and keep the bread warm with its embedded magnet closures. It&#8217;s even reversible. See it at <a title="YLiving" href="http://www.yliving.com/stelton-bread-bag.html" target="_blank">YLiving</a>.</p>
<p><strong>3. Birch Serving Tray, Majamoo/Jani Martikainen -</strong> Drawing inspiration from fellow Finn Alvar Aalto&#8217;s legendary designs, Martikainen&#8217;s contoured design is a balanced, high-quality serving tray. Its handsomely proportioned curves even make for a beautiful centerpiece on your dining table. Choose red, white, or black from <a title="A+R Store" href="http://aplusrstore.com/product.php?id=560&amp;cid=193" target="_blank">A+R</a>.</p>
<p><strong>4. Wood and Stoneware Vase, Javier Gutiérrez and Larent Serin -</strong> Arrange and re-arrange this contemporary three-piece vase to accommodate stems and blooms of all sizes. The three parts include a stoneware cylinder, a hand-painted wood cylinder, and a hand-painted wood cone. Available in white/silver at <a title="Design Within Reach" href="http://www.dwr.com/product/wood-and-stoneware-vase.do?sortby=ourPicks#.UUYZYlvzasB" target="_blank">Design Within Reach</a>.</p>
<p><strong>5. Tavolo XZ3 Tables -</strong> With its serious mid-century-modern style credentials, the Tavolo table, designed by Studio Technico Magis, offers a stylish and sturdy solution for dining or virtually any table-based gathering. Its steel wire base comes in chrome or white epoxy resin; round or rectangular tops are white MDF with polymer covering. Choose yours at <a title="Herman Miller" href="http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Tavolo-XZ3-Table" target="_blank">Herman Miller</a>.</p>
<p>*Pairs perfectly with the <a title="Herman Miller" href="http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Eames-Molded-Plastic-Armchair-with-Wire-Base" target="_blank">Eames Molded Plastic Chairs</a> with wire bases.</p>
<p><strong>6. Oxy Pitcher, HiromiKim -</strong> Its elegant and organic shape is just the first impression Oxy makes on your dining table. The pitcher&#8217;s interior contours continue to impress with their spherical shape, facilitating a smooth pour by rolling the fluid out. Made from Limoges porcelain with a two-liter capacity. Find it at <a title="Vespoe" href="http://www.vespoe.com/hiromikim/shop/oxy" target="_blank">Vespoe</a>.</p>
